Serious question. Why not? He doesn't look any more raw than any other rookie I've been watching in summer league. How everyone think someone like Elfrid Payton is ready to run a team from day one, but Bruno is years away, it doesn't make any logical sense. If Bruno had totally shit the bed and looked lost today I'd agree with you. But he looked very confident and his shot looked fantastic. He looks about as polished as most NCAA 1 and done players.

Not knowing much about him and not having much to go on, and considering his age and lack of experience I really thought it would be a long shot for the kid to get minutes this season. I still think this is so considering the Raptors depth chart. And I don't want to read too much into a single summer league game, it wasn't like he dominated or anything. But he did look surprisingly comfortable out there, and looked like he had a good handle on positioning and where he needed to be on the floor. And that could be more important than his actual skills in terms of getting playing time. As far as skills go, I was impressed there too, he can shoot, drive, his handle is better than I anticipated, great length on the perimeter, he challenged shots so there's lots to like. He may have been a bit sluggish, it's hard to say. Comparing him to 'Po, for example, he doesn't move as fluidly, so he maybe needs some training or his body still needs to grow or something, I'm not sure. 'Po is older and has more time playing competitive ball so that's not surprising or a knock on Bruno. But my expectation is still that at best he gets some garbage time this season. No need to push the kid too much, and if James Johnson doesn't turn out to be a bonehead, I doubt Bruno moves ahead of him on the depth chart. Nonetheless, I am more confidant in Bruno's capabilities after that game, than I was before it. And about Payton, I don't know much about him or whether he is anymore NBA ready than Bruno. But with very limited info to go on, I would say Bruno will be a good NBA player at least, but I don't expect him to see the floor much until next season.

It's pretty hilarious how the season hasn't started and people are already bitching and whining about how Casey isn't giving Bruno enough minutes.

The main problem with the fans here is that ... They love their GM, over hype their rotational players and bitch at their coach !!! Fans here forgot how this team was last in NBA in defence and it was Casey and his methods that brought them up to this level.
